[QUOTE="tab.deboer, post: 830280, member: 18339"] The Amplifi range is the non-Enterprise range from Ubiquiti, meaning an aesthetically pleasing main unit / router desktop device, with ease of use was as a main selling point. It's literally plug and play. Additionally, the app for the units is excellent, in terms of what is can do, what info you can review, and how easy it is to use. The throughput does get less with these mesh points, but due to them also having 3 x 3 antenna arrays, they can use a set of antenna's to backhaul to the main device at high speed, as well as an intelligent system that pushes devices according to their signal strength from one to the other. You can do the same with Unifi, but you'll need an active controller, either on a linux box, raspberry pi, or by using a "Cloud Key", which is a controller device powered via PoE, running of the same switch the AP's run off, actively managing your system. Unifi is solid, but takes some know-how to set up properly, the Amplifi system is foolproof whole home wifi with the addition of app-based control. Price wise they're about the same for a full setup. :cool: [/QUOTE]
